destruction. a life-long packers fan throwing a flag at her favorite team of after his 3-month-old is sidelined from stadiums because she didn't have her own ticket. her fight to change that policy. "fox & friends" first starts right now. ♪ i just want to fly. ♪ put your arms around me baby. ♪ put your arms around me baby. heather: they're not flying. they're swimming across portions of the carolinas right now because they are experiencing historic flooding as a result of what is now tropical storm florence. good morning to you. you're watching "fox & friends" first on this monday morning. i'm heather childers. thank you for starting your day with us. we begin with that, with a fox news alert. the storm has been more dangerous, that is a quote,

officials warning of what lies ahead as hundreds of people remain trapped in their homes from florence's wrath. griff jenkins is live in jacksonville, north carolina with an exclusive tour through a flood-ravaged business. good morning, griff. you've been doing outstanding coverage for us, we really appreciate it, you and your team. >> griff: good morning. florence is not done with your home state of nort north caroli, just battering it, as many as 18 dead. here, it is the new river, flooding at near record levels. as you move toward toward fayete and lumberton, serious risk. governor cooper talking about the worst may be yet to come.

here's what he had to say. >> this storm has never been more dangerous than it is right now for areas from fayetteville and lumberton, across sand hills and southern piedmont to our mountains. >> griff: you have hundreds of people in shelters here in jacksonville, as many as 500 in chilshelters. we've had coast guard helicopters doing rescues. you can see the flooded street behind me. we look at the marina cafe, a landmark bar in jacksonville, the owner taking me inside for the first time, seeing feet of water inside of his establishment with 10 to 15 feet at the docks behind it, collapses boats. here's what captain beck had to say. >> it hit terribly hard, terribly hard. it's going to be lots of money to repair what we have here. i see a lot of damages that are not covered on insurance and i'm just going to have to make it

happen. i've been here over 20 years. i had a fire once, was closed for a whole year, now we have a flood. >> griff: you have as many as 3 you thousand coast guard, -- 3,000 coast guard. one of the parts of the story is the movement, the mobility. many of these areas, they want to move into recovery but they have to go door-to-door and rescue people and roads all across the state are being cut off, towns being cut off from each other. so it's going to be a very difficult task and florence isn't even done as the rivers swell, it's going to be a story to watch in the next coming days. tomorrow could be as bad as today. heather: as the rain hits the upper portions of the state and western north carolina, all that rain has to flow downstream to where you are. so it's going to be a problem for days and weeks to come. thank you so much, griff. a kansas deputy shot and killed in the line of duty.

robert konsey was gunned down while checking on a suspicious person. he took the suspect's gun and during the struggle gunfire exploded. the deputy's weapon was fired. they don't know if the suspect's was. that suspect is dead. konsey, a 12 year veteran of the force, leaves behind a wife and daughter. two robbery suspects are facing capital murder charges in the death of a texas officer. officer garrett hole was shot and killed last week. he's one of the 36 officers who have died in the line of duty so far this year. too much pressure in gas pipes is blamed for several deadly explosions we told you about in massachusetts. more than 60 homes caught fire in three towns near boston, killing one person, injuring another 25 others. thousands of people returned to damaged homes over the weekend

after mandatory evacuations. you can see why. authorities believe the columbia gas company is linked to five major blasts in massachusetts. ves, west virginia and ohio since 2007. the white house is standing by brett kavanaugh. the democrats are seizing the moment, demanding a delay of his confirmation in the wake of sexual assault accusations. we have more on the claims and the new battle being waged on capitol hill. >> reporter: a college professor is accusing the supreme court nominee of sexual misconduct. the white house says they stand behind brett kavanaugh and his denials of that. the professor claims one summer night in the '80s that he was stumbling drunk, pinned her to a bed, groped her and put a hands over her mouth to stop her screams. she said, quote, i thought he

might inadvertently kill me. he was trying to attack me and remove my clothing. she said she escaped when a friend jumped on him and she ran out of the room. in late july, a confidential account reached dianne feinstein. she announced she turned over information about kavanaugh to the fbi. in a statement, feinstein says, quote, i support mrs. ford's decision to share her story. now that she has, it is in the hands of the fbi to conduct an investigation. this should happen before the senate moves forward on this no, ma'anominee.several other democe calling to hold off on the progress on the nomination. republicans call it disturbing a uncorroborated allegations from 35 years ago would surface on the eve of a committee vote, pointing out the democrats apparently knew about this in late july. heather: late july, the timing

of these allegations against judge kavanaugh now being called into question as it comes just days before the committee vote. judge an drew na andrew napalite judge passed multiple investigations which is why some are weary of the claim's credibility. >> if this happened as dr. ford claims it did, it would be worthy of investigating. but what is significant is the passage of time between the alleged event and the present. brett kavanaugh has undergone six fbi investigations, four for his work at the bush white house including three for various levels of security clearances, one for the judicial position he now holds which is the second highest court in the land and the sixth of course for the position for which president

trump has nominated him and not a whiff of this has been perceived by these very thorough allegations. so it makes one wonder if this was timed. now, the timing of it would cause the prosecutor y'alial ore law enforcement mind to discount it and be very, very suspicious about its credibility. heather: lawmakers on both sides have vowed to take the claim seriously and look into what is being alleged. south korea's president wants to break the nuclear dead lock between the u.s. and north korea. he will meet with kim jong un within hour as he travels to the north for a three-day summit, this will be their third meeting this year focusing on kim's commitment to denuclearization made during his summit with president trump. all of this amid concerns that the dictator is not getting rid of his nuclear arsenal. another woman linked to the anti-trump dossier is going before congress. nellie ohr, the wife of bruce

ohr, you heard a lot about, will testify this week. she worked for fusion gps, that's the firm behind the dossier. the closed door session will focus on nellie's role with the firm and bruce's ties to christopher steam thi steel. this comes after bruce ohr testified last month. let's talk about the nfl, a handful of nfl players protesting the national a anthem yet ged. marchand lynch sat before the game. two miami dolphins took a knee, while another raised a fist. it was an exciting week on the field. what we want to see, the football, starting with the dallas cowboys taking care of their division rival, the new york giants overnight. >> all the way in, touchdown.

heather: the cowboys getting a win, 22-13. and kansas city chiefs quarterback patrick mahone through six touchdowns. he's thrown 10 touchdowns through two games. blake bortels outplaying the legendary tom brady, the jags knocking off the patriots, 31-20. buffalo bills' defensive back donte davis retires at half time. the veteran said it sudde suddey dawned on him, he couldn't keep it up may more. no highlights from the panthers but they lost. that's okay. the furious florence still in full force, rescues around the clock as heavy rains fuel massive floods and the north carolina fire chief will join us next with how first responders are working night and day to

save those in danger. >> where is the other $38 trillion going to come from? >> it's a broader agenda. it doesn't always happen with the wave of a wand. we can work to make these happen. >> we're not going to get an answer for the other 3 38 3 $38 trillion. heather:.

heather: a fox news alert. florence still battering the carolina coast as first responders fight through the deadly floodwaters to save people still trapped in their homes. nearly 400 water rescues have been made so far and that's just in wilmington, north carolina. the head of their fire department, chief buddy martinet joins me over the phone. thank you so much for joining

us. >> you're welcome, heather. thank goodness things have slowed down a little bit. maybe we're getting towards the end of phase one. heather: how are conditions right now? what do you mean, phase one? >> the storm's finally moved on, it looks like. we're getting outer bands now, so thank goodness it stopped raining. the first part of this storm we were dealing with wind and rain but mostly wind and we lost a lot of trees, which messed up our transportation system pretty well. so now we're just going to deal with the effects of the rain as the water runs down the cape fear river and into the ocean. heather: tell us about some of the rescues that you and your team have had to go on. >> first of all, i want to thank everybody that left. i mean, i can't tell you how much it helped us that people heeded our warnings and evacuated every one of those people that left was a person we didn't have to worry about.

unfortunately, some people didn't. i think the floodwaters caught many by surprise. we spent a good part of yesterday and the night before and a little bit last night rescuing people from their homes. not all in life-threatening situations but many i think trapped by the water and fearful for their lives. so they were rescued. heather: you also have all of the power outages to deal with so you need to get those people out. how are the first responders doing? i know you've been working around the clock. >> yeah, well i tell you, they've done very well and they're holding up very well. i think people are getting tired but we've had plenty of support and help come in to help relieve the firefighters and the medics and we've been very appreciative of that effort as well. heather: a lot of people don't think about that. when you're out there rescuing other people, they're leaving their families and their homes

behind. >> yeah, you know, and the grim reality of this whole situation is many of the firefighters and medics that we have on duty haven't been home to see their own homes yet because they sent their families away and either the floodwaters are keeping them from getting to their homes or their work schedule has kept them from getting there to check on them n have the additional stress to deal with that while they're also working. heather: have you ever seen anything like this? i was told you've been there for over a decade. >> well, i have. we've had lots of storms here hn wilmington. we have had plenty of time to prepare. we haven't had any that hit us like this. and thank goodnes goodness the h of the storm went down before it hit the coast. i can't imagine what we would be dealing with had it ban category 4 when it got here. it sat on us so long. we just took so much rain and

that really hurt us in both trying to get out and get the debris cleared from the streets and also to navigate towards some of these neighborhoods that we've just now started to get into. heather: we've had deaths there in wilmington, is that right? >> yes, we have. we had three. we had ofte an unfortunate i ine where a tree fell on a home and killed a mother and her infant and we were able to save a man, the man of the house, and we lost another person to an electrocution here in wilmington. heather: we're looking at footage right now of your team kneeling there at the site where the mother and her daughter were killed. thank you so much. we appreciate you taking the time. we know you need to get back to work. please thank all the first responders out there as well. >> i will, heather. thank everybody for their thoughts and prayers. heather: we'll continue with

those. the time now is about 19 minutes after the top of the hour and her daughter was murdered by ms-13. evidenceverybodyms-13. evelyn rodriguez made it her mission to fight against the violent gang. >> i met with the president. he assured me that he's going to do everything. heather: that mother now killed at her daughter's memorial, exactly two years after her tragic death. our next guest tells how her fight to crush ms-13 will live on. ♪ my name is jeff sheldon, and i'm the founder of ugmonk. before shipstation it was crazy. it's great when you see a hundred orders come in, a hundred orders come in, but then you realize i've got a hundred orders i have to ship out. shipstation streamlined that wh the order data, the weights of , everything is seamlessly put into shipstation, so when we print the shipping ll

i decided that i wanted to go for electrical engineering and you need to go to college for that. if i didn't have internet in the home i would have to give up more time with my kids. which is the main reason i left the military. everybody wants more for their kids, but i feel like with my kids, they measurably get more than i ever got. and i get to do that. i get to provide that for them. heather: exactly two years

after her 16-year-old do you 1 r was brutally killed by gang member, evelyn rodriguez was killed bay car while preparing for her vigil. she was fighting against the deadly gang recognized by president trump. her fight is not over. joining me now is nassau county police association president james mcdermott. thank you for joining us. >> thank you we were discussing, i was saying evelyn appeared our show several times. she would do whatever it would take to try get the word out that we need to recognize the dangers of gangs, specifically ms-13. >> that was her cause. she didn't want anyone else to go through what she went through. heather: so in terms of what happened, it's just -- it makes no sense. this was an accident. it was a car accident. she was there at this memorial, putting flowers and apparently the woman who was selling the

property, there was some sort of argument that ensued. two years to the day as her daughter. >> absolutely terrible, yes. heather: you think that this will help, though, continue the ms-13 fight? >> you know what it does? it shines a light on what her cause was, which she was out there for. she was partnering with the police department and that's how we are successful, when we have community -- people from the community that get involved with us to fight ms-13, to eradicate that problem, that was her cause and she championed it and she was a titan and it's just terrible. heather: this memorial was going on becaus also the area wr daughter was found along with her friend who was 15 years old at the time. >> yes, yes. it was just absolutely terrible and it was two years to the day.

heather: what type of work did you do with her? >> well, you know what? i got a chance to meet her at the round table discussions that we had with the president when he came in to town, when he was at beth page. she spoke. she spoke from the heart. i was just talking about it last night. she could have -- after her tragedy with her daughter, she could have crawled into a ball and just been a victim but she went out there and she -- again, like i said before, she wanted to make sure no other mother had to go through the pain that she went through. she stepped up against a horrific, vicious gang. heather: putting her own life in danger. let's listen to some of what she had to say. this was her appearance on "fox & friends first." >> they keep saying kinds are our future. we need to protect our kids. they need professionals inside the schools in order to detect

these things that are happening to our kids. i met with the president. we spoke in regards of what's going on and he assured me that he's going to do everything. heather: evelyn wanted that fight to continue. she took it to the highest level she could with president trump. you think the fight will continue? >> absolutely. i believe the president heard her. he came out to long island twice in the last year. he knows what's going on in brentwood and on long island. we've had dozens of homicides, gang related deaths from ms-13. heather: do you think that her work has made a difference? >> absolutely. she's an inspiration. she shows that you can get involved and that you should get involved and you shouldn't lay back and be a victim lik -- vic. she partnered with the police department. heather: not doing anything doesn't make it not exist.

thank you for joining us. >> thank you. heather: florence, we have to talk about that, there have been historic rains and life-threatening floods. we're live on the ground as rescuers go door-to-door in a race to save lives.

heather: a fox news alert for you. it's not over yet. at least 17 people are dead, communities are destroyed and floodwaters are still rising in the wake of hurricane florence. rescuers now going door-to-door, looking for victims and air-lifting people to safety. allison barber is live for us from florence, south carolina, where there's a risk of flash flooding. good morning, allison. >> reporter: hi, heather. it's been a rough couple of days in this area. we saw heavy flooding in this region as we traveled around yesterday to see some of the damage, some of the post hurricane hurt that has been caused in the pee dee region

because of hurricane florence. a lot of people who are working to try and restore power are actually staying in cots in this arena behind me. whatever they're doing seems to be working. officials say there are less than 20,000 power outages in the state of south carolina. as for south carolina, as a whole, there are 3400 national guardsmen deployed here. there are teams from pennsylvania here, helping as well. they're performing rescues, welfare checks, blocking off roads when flooding is making it too dangerous to drive. that's the case in north carolina as well. the storm is said to be responsible for the deaths of 17 people. no age spared. the first death in south carolina was a 61-year-old woman from union county. a 3-month-old died in gaston county, north carolina. fema officials say there are several days to go. >> the thing i'm most worried

about is the isolated communities, those who are stuck in their homes right now that may not have access to pharmaceuticals, food, water, medical supplies. i think the message to put forward to the people is plea stay out of the flooded waters. >> reporter: in south carolina, a major concern is flash flooding and also river flooding. officials say they're concerned in particular about the pes peee river basin. it takes waters from rivers in south carolina and also from those in north carolina. so they say the rainfall in north carolina as well as south carolina essentially is getting cocombined, all flowing into tht basin. there are evacuations in two counties near that basin. officials say we're not out of the woods just yet. heather: allison barber joining us live from florence, south carolina, the city where i was actually born. be careful out there. as the wicked weather continues

in the united states, we have this going on, another deadly storm that is churning across the globe. tropical storm mankut killing at least two people in china after killing 65 in the philippines. the storm making landfall as a super typhoon, triggering massive mud slides and flooding with winds reaching over 100 miles an hour. dozens of people are missing. it's feared none of them can be found alive. a shark is spotted miles from the scene of a deadly attack, the cape cod beach where arthur mendichi was killed on saturday is closed. it's the first deadly shark attack in massachusetts in more than 80 years. he was engaged to be married. you're about to get a text message from the president. on thursday afternoon, fema will begin testing a new emergency

alert system that allows president trump to directly communicate with americans from coast to coast. cell phone users will hear a tone and vibration before getting the message and here's the message, it will say this is a test of the national wireless emergency alert system. no action is needed. you cannot opt out of the test, by the way. so be aware that's why you're getting it. newly revealed testimony from justice department lawyer lisa page now showing that the fbi could not prove collusion before appointing robert mueller. so did the fbi and the doj begin an investigation without cause? here now to debate it democratic strategist jason any coul nichod republican strategist jen kern. jen, i'll start with you. how significant is this to you? >> this is astonishing, heather. if you look at u.s. code 600,

which dictates when a special counsel can be appointed, the law is very clear. it says that the attorney general or someone in this case acting as the attorney general, which in this case would have been rosenstein, may only appoint a special counsel if there is evidence that a criminal matter has taken place. it's very clear. at the time that special counsel robert mueller was appointed, that no one at the highest ranking levels of the fbi believed there was any evidence of russian collusion and they don't have to take my word for it. look at lisa page's recent testimony. she testified before congress and said that they had not come to that conclusion at the time of the appoint. heather: let me get jason in here. i want to take a look at that and get your response. let's begin with the text message from peter strzok that said an investigation leading to impeachment, question, you and i both know the odds are nothing. if i thought it was likely, i'd

be there, no question. i hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern there's no big there there. and then the lisa page testimony that jen was referencing, she said among a lot of other things, i think this represents that even as far as may 2017 we still couldn't answer the question of collusion. so do you see that as a problem? >> no, i don't. number one, if you look at lisa page's comments in full, she says it probably wasn't nothing, nothing, we knew more than that at the time. so of course she had some idea the higher ups in the fbi had some idea that there was something that need tod need toe investigated further. that's why they brought in robert mueller. i would think republican woulds be excited about robert mueller, someone who is impartial, aplight l call and would do a -- apolitical and would do a

thorough investigation. heather: is that the way the process is supposed to work. the attorney general appoints a special counsel, quote, when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted. so they're saying that there was no proof up until this point. they couldn't find any proof of collusion. but yet they launched the investigation anyway. >> so i would answer that number one by listening to the president or at the time candidate trump's own statements on july 27th, 2016. he made a public statement that he wanted russians to release hillary clinton's e-mails and on that very same day russians hacked hillary clinton's e-mails. so again, we have statements. they actually said they thought there was something that needed further investigation and that's why they brought in robert mueller. heather: jen, you get the final word here. does this look like an investigation in search of a

crime? >> yes, it sure does. it does appear there was no crime and, again, going back to that u.s. code 600, in absence of a crime there should not have been a special counsel appointed. you look at two years later down the line and nearly $100 million spent by the special counsel, they still have not found that crime. boy, if this were a case in a court of law, a mistrial would have been called already. it's sad to see he's dragged the presidency through the mud and lots of people in the white house who i know have also spent tens of thousands of dollars getting attorneys to defend themselves over basically nothing. very sad. heather: jason and jen, i think one thing that no one would argue with, they would like for this investigation to be over, to run its course and be over and be over quickly. thank you both for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. heather: have a good day. the time now is about 20 minutes until the top of the hour. the border battle taking center stage and the high stakes
